Liverpool have reportedly opened talks with Stoke City over a possible transfer for forward Xherdan Shaqiri.
According to John Percy of the Daily Telegraph, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp wants to get the signing wrapped up this month, and the Reds are ready to trigger the release clause in the Switzerland international's contract. It's said that amount is more than the £12 million that's been reported elsewhere.
"The attacking midfielder hinted last week that his new club would be revealed soon and Liverpool are now negotiating with Stoke over a deal," said Percy.
